description_en: Genus of 10 or more species of ever-green, mostly epiphytic ferns, usually with thick, creeping rhizomes, found on tree trunks, rocks, and cliff faces in rainforest and scrub in tropical S.E. Asia. The large, pinnate fronds are erect, then often arching or pendent, with thin, leathery leaflets. In most species, organic matter accumulates in the closely overlapping bases of the fronds. Sori are dispersed over the undersides of the fronds, or are arranged serially between the veins. Aglaomorphas are attractive specimen plants, and their foliage forms a good backdrop for other ferns. In frost-prone areas, grow in a warm greenhouse.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.

propagation_en: Sow spores at 21°C (70°F) as soon as ripe. Divide rhizomes as growth begins in spring, making sure that each division has a growing tip. See also p.51.
